Teen Suicide

Teen Suicide were a four-piece punk/indie/emo/pop/noise/lots of stuff band from Maryland that existed for a very short time, from 2011-2012. Despite their brief tenure, the band managed to keep busy by putting a ton of music, and some amazing music at that. The band's sound can certainly be described as being "lo-fi", which is pretty much the only completely consistent thing the band does. This is with the exception of being incredibly depressing and self-deprecating, of course. They seem to inject heavy doses of that into each song. Besides that, a multitude of ideas are explored, practically from song to song. They take influence from a plethora of sources which keep them constantly varied and interesting. I guess they do have quite a few songs that have a similar thing going on to Wavves, but in super-sad form. Some Daniel Johnston influence often seems to seep through a few times as well. I guess I could just keep naming bands to draw parallels to, but you can just listen for yourself. Oh, and a few members are now in another great band called Julia Brown. Enjoy. Edit: As you probably know they've been back for a while, and just put out a new album with Run For Cover.

A Stubborn Reminder...

Please remember, not everything on here is supposed to be free. Enjoy to your heart's content, but if you can, please try and support these bands by purchasing records, going to shows, buying merch, anything if at all possible. Most of them could really use (and deserve) it.
